With read speeds up to 133 MHz in Single/Dual/Quad I/O mode and 80 MHz in double data rate (DDR) mode, the FS-S family delivers up to 80 MBytes/second (MB/s) of read throughput - 50 percent faster than competing solutions, Spansion claims. In addition, a programming performance of up to 1.08 MB/s accelerates manufacturing throughput and lowers programming costs. Spansion's FS-S family also offers an erase time of up to 0.5 MB/s.

Spansion's FS-S family can be installed in network storage, tolling systems, automotive, smart meters, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), digital still cameras, medical devices, printers, base stations and Bluetooth devices. The family currently offers 128 Mb and 256 Mb densities, with other densities planned in the near future.
